TECHNICAL DETAILS LOCATION Located in the heart of Tuscany, this city built on hills, which still maintains its medieval appearance with its narrow streets and noble buildings rich in history. Of Etruscan origin, Siena was a Roman colony with the name of Siena Julia but its importance grew in the Middle Ages. After a long period of episcopal dominion, the city reached its peak as an autonomous municipality (1147), adopting a policy of expansionism towards the bordering territories. Confrontation with Florence was inevitable and the struggle lasted, with various vicissitudes, until 1555 when, after a long siege, Siena was conquered by the Florentines, losing its autonomy and becoming part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, sharing its fortunes until the unification of Italy. It can be safely said that the Palio delle Contrade [Horserace of the seventeen districts] is the most famous, the most beautiful and the most deeply felt among popular Italian events, one which combines and presents in an extreme form a festival both religious and civil, a charming show, a historic and cultural revival and which culminates in a wild horse race in which the pride and ardent spirit of the competition of the Contrade is lived and exalted. The Contrade are individual institutions whose origins date back to the XV century and are currently the seventeen districts of the city. Each has its own headquarters, its own church (distinct and independent from the parish church), a museum with the prizes won which is rich in ancient and modern relics and governed by a 'Chair' (Council) appointed by popular election presided over by a Prior and assisted by a Captain who has full powers in relation to the running of the race. The Contrade are distinguished by their emblems and their colours and the Palio is run twice a year on 2 July, the "Palio in honour of the Madonna of Provenzano" and on 16 August, the "Palio dell' Assunta."
